Great news for all TV fans, Amandaland is set to hit our screens very soon with an amazing cast! The BBC has officially announced the talented stars who will join the new spin-off of the popular show, Motherland. Fans can expect even more laughs and outrageous moments with these new characters.
The focus of the new sitcom will be on Lucy Punch's character, Amanda, who is known for her snooty attitude. After a divorce, she is forced to downsize to South Harlsden and adjust to a whole new social circle while also dealing with her teenage kids. But wait, it gets even better - Joanna Lumley will be back as Amanda's mom, Felicity, and their relationship is sure to be filled with backhanded compliments and toxic co-dependency. And let's not forget about Amanda's minion, Anne, who will once again be roped into her chaotic life.
The six-episode spin-off will introduce a fresh set of characters who will add even more chaos to Amanda's topsy-turvy world of modern motherhood. With teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts, and eco-anxiety, there's no telling what kind of hilarity will ensue. Joining the cast is Samuel Anderson, known for his roles in Gavin and Stacey and Doctor Who, as well as Irish actor Siobhan McSweeney. They will be joined by Rochenda Sandall from Line of Duty, Ekow Quartey, and Peter Serafinowicz.
Sharon Horgan, who plays Amanda, expressed her excitement for the new show, saying she was sad to say goodbye to Motherland but thrilled to continue with the further adventures of Amanda. She also praised her co-stars, Lucy, Phillipa, and Joanna, and the new cast members, for being incredibly funny and talented. She can't wait to showcase the challenges of parenthood and the unique friendships that form at the school gates.
Tanya Qureshi, Head of Comedy at the BBC, also shared her enthusiasm for the new show, promising it will be a real treat for audiences. As for the new characters, their exact roles are still a mystery, but we can expect more modern motherhood horrors and a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship between Amanda and her mother.
Unfortunately, fans of Motherland will not see Anna Maxwell Martin, who played Julia, make a cameo appearance in the new show. When asked about the possibility by The One Show host Alex Jones, Anna confirmed that Julia, Kevin, and Liz will not be making an appearance. However, she did mention that she is excited to see her former co-stars, Phil and Lucy, as she thinks they are brilliant actresses. Amandaland will be back on BBC and BBC iPlayer in February, so mark your calendars!
